The document analyzes key aesthetic elements in an image from the movie "8 Mile", including the dark and depressing colors that convey the shelter is not a nice place; the run-down, old clothes worn by the characters to show they don't have much money; and a microphone being held by one character to indicate an upcoming rap battle, with a light focused on the main character that needs to be watched. The setting is described as not showing any signs of happiness, with people battling in hopes of advancing their rap careers and being discovered.

1. Analysing An Image
I have chosen to analysis certain aesthetic elements within this image from the movie “8
Mile”
Colour
Looking at this image I can see why they have used the colours that they have, if you look at
the colours used in this scene, they are very dark and depressing, telling the viewer that this
isn’t a nice place and a shelter isn’t practically a nice place, it’s where people that don’t have
an awful lot, come to express themselves through rapping and doing battles.
Costumes

2. Looking at the clothes that each character are wearing, you can see that they both don’t
have a lot of money, to buy nice clothes. There clothes in fact look “run down” and old. Also
looking at the clothes I can see how they fit in very well with the setting and image that this
movie is trying to portray, rappers usually wear vests and baggy trousers.
Props
Looking at this image I can see that one character is holding a microphone, this shows the
viewer that the characters are going to be battling out with each other, showing off there
rap and rhyming skills. I can also see a light that is focused on the main character within this
scene, that shows the viewer that he is the one that needs to be watched.
Setting/Location
Looking at the setting within this movie I can see that it isn’t a nice place, this setting
doesn’t show any signs of happiness. People come to battle with each other in hope that
that they go up the ranks and hope that they get spotted by a producers, you see this
throughout the film as B-Rabbit is always hopeful that his battles will pay off and in the end
they do. The setting throughout the movie is definitely not bright, you see where B-Rabbit
lives in the movie, it’s a trailer park with his acholic mother and little baby sister. You see
scenes of conflict and arguments throughout.
